    The goal Introduction to fundamentals of heat and mass transfer. Understanding the nature of heating of thermal processes in power components due to energy losses and generated heat. Training students to apply knowledge from the general theory of heat and mass transfer in the practice of design, operation, monitoring and protection of power components. Illustration of examples of real power components.
    The outcome Skills to solve wide range of thermal problems appearing in practice of design and utilisation of electric power components. Education about classical (simplified) practical methods, their limitations and practical benefits of using deeper physically based methods and up to date software tools.
    Contents
